I LOVE Createx airbrush paints!  They don't typically need any thinning and give a gorgeous even coat.

I've had good luck with the Basics line of Liquitex paints, watered down with Windex. I also use straight Windex to clean the airbrush out when finished.

I use Apple Barrel and Folk Art brand acrylics in mine, watered down.  The local A. C. Moore craft store sells their own brand of acrylics at about half the price of the others, but I find that their coverage leaves much to be desired (although their black isn't too bad).

I also use watered-down Folk Art, but find that "ze magics" tends not to last very long with it. I can only paint for a short while before it starts clumping.

Createx, and i do have to water it down a little because it's still too thick for my airbrush. I also use other tube acrylics that I have and water them down
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

I LOVE Createx airbrush paints!  They don't typically need any thinning and give a gorgeous even coat. 

I'll second this! I love that I can use them straight from the bottle.  I've also used craft acrylics (folk art, apple barrel, ect) but I have to thin them out.

Thin down with windex? I may have to try this...anyway I use ceramcoat thinned with water. It works really well. When I get a new airbrush I may switch, but as for now it works well :)
